One of the staples of jailbreaking is to get rid of the restrictions imposed by some apps and enjoy exclusive new features. For instance, you can use Phantom for Snapchat to easily upload videos and photos from your Camera Roll, hide Discover and Live Stories, view snaps and stories without having to keep your fingers on the screen at all times and much more.

3. File Manager

Due to the limited nature and secure ecosystem of iOS, users are prevented from accessing the system files and modifying them. There are times when you need to edit some of the system files to fix an issue. If you’re jailbroken, you can take advantage of a tweak such as iFile to do it.

4. Themes

Jailbreaking your iOS device opens the doors to endless customization possibilities. One of these includes theming your iPhone to change its look and feel. You can change the design of app icons, add widgets to the Home screen, customize the interface of third-party apps and much more.

5. Get Exclusive New Features on Older iPhone Models

Jailbreaking your iOS device allows you to use tweaks that port exclusive iPhone and iPad features to unsupported models.
